We’re in urgent need of cat and kitten food!

Our supply is running low, and we’re asking for help to keep our feline friends fed and healthy. Specifically, we’re looking for donations of Purina Cat Chow and Purina Kitten Chow.

If you’re able to pick up a bag or send one our way, it would make a big difference. Every bit helps, and we’re so grateful for your continued support.

Donations can be dropped off or shipped directly to us—thank you for helping us care for the animals who need it most. 🐾

🚨We’re almost out of cat and kitten kibble again, and our supply shelves are still running low. From pooper scoopers and paper towels to cleaning tools and tasty treats, we urgently need your help to keep things running smoothly.

Every item on our wishlist makes a difference in the daily care of animals like Flint—who’s counting on us to stay fed, clean, and cozy while he waits for his forever home. 🐾💚
